21/6/2024
Ambur Braid scores yet another success as Rachel in La Juive for Oper Frankfurt, securing her place as one of the most exhilarating and dramatically compelling sopranos on stage today. Performances run through 14 July. Hear what the press has to say:
“Ambur Braid, Frankfurt’s Salome, is one of the most expressive singer actresses far and wide, her soprano is also highly expressive, and she never loses her finesse”
Frankfurter Rundschau, June 2024
“Ambur Braid literally glows through the emotional world of the foster daughter Rachel, the eponymous Jewess, with her youthful, dramatic soprano” – Der Opernfreund, June 2024
“Grandiose in the effortless development of her well-timbred voice, Ambur Braid makes every appearance of Rachel an event” – Concerti, June 2024
“In the title role, Ambur Braid returns to Frankfurt and inspires with a luminous soprano, which can increase to great drama, and clear trebles that enhance the purity of the role. She movingly, without compromise, portrays the ordeal of the title character” – Online Musik Magazin, June 2024
“Ambur Braid’s Rachel, a powerful soprano with brilliant and very well projected highs, has a lot of panache. Like her recent interpretations of the Dyer’s Wife in Die Frau Ohne Schatten at the Opéra de Lyon and Salome at the Frankfurt Opera, she impresses as soon as she arrives on stage with her incandescent presence and whatever her appearance (wise or light-hearted girl), you can feel the fire that smoulders under the ice” – Cult News, June 2024
“Ambur Braid as Rachel mastered the demanding task with confidence” – Klassik.com, June 2024
“Above all, the former ensemble member Ambur Braid turns her Rachel into a modern-day woman of flesh and blood, who also knows how to defend herself violently against Léopold’s infidelity and lies and in the end goes to death in flames full of conviction” – Musik Heute, June 2024
